It was a big weekend for five-star defensive tackle Andrew Brown. Not only did he and his Oscar Smith teammates get a blowout victory in the first round of the state playoffs on Friday night but he's now signed his financial aid paperwork, beginning the process of enrolling early at UVa.

Brown, a 6-foot-4 lineman who says he's down to about 285 pounds, took advantage of a new rule that allows for schools to have unlimited contact with recruits who are enrolling early. In the case of Brown, the nation's No. 1 defensive tackle, that means preparing to head for Charlottesville next semester.
